Primary Identifier | MGI:1919379 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 72129 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid alpha-oxidation; microtubule-based peroxisome localization; and nervous system development. Located in peroxisomal membrane. Is expressed in brain and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 11B and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 11A. Orthologous to human PEX13 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 13). PHENOTYPE: Targeted disruption of this gene results in intrauterine growth retardation, hypotonia, aphagia, abnormal lamination of the cerebral cortex associated with a neuronal migration defect, liver steatosis, delayed differentiation of renal glomeruli, impairedperoxisome metabolism, and neonatal death.
